*lifts lid on the cannister next to the tea cannister (which has now mysteriously gone missing), and puts her hand in. feels around, touches something hard, and somehting else fuzzy*
nnnnnngggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!
*grabs hard thing, pulls it out. holds it up to candle on the wall*
hey! it's my-

*princess broelan hits the floor out cold as the largest spider she has ever seen jumps (not crawls, but jumps mind you) out of the cannister she has just had her hand in.*

What a !!!

*brushes wisps of mist from around bed, Shea finally succeeds in getting out of bed, and makes another run for the staircase*

[but collides with the lurking Inkwash sending them both sprawling and knocking the real tea-canniser into the air]

*broelan comes to, sits up on floor. she is holding her flashlight (which is what she found in the cannister and does not have any batteries in), and sees the spider that scared her curled up in a pile peacefully sleeping next to her.*

*tea cannister that inkwash was hiding is flying toward broelan & the spider. lands on the spider, bounces and lands on princess b's lap. the spider is unhurt, but awake now, and quite agitated at being woken up with a tea cannister like that. stands up, rubs head with a furry leg, sees broelan with the cannister, looks accusingly at her.*

*princess b doesn't see the spider looking at her, she is looking at the cannister trying to remember why she is holding it.*

~points to spider~

Bulford KILL

~Buford the after a short struggle chases away the big spider~

Well done Bulford!

*picks herself up off the floor, and sneaks out through a secret passage*

*still can't remember why she is holding tea cannister, must go read backlog *

isn't anyone going to stop her?

Ssshh! I've already left!

Hee hee!

Stop her from what? Reading the backlog??? Must go read backlog!

Yells BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! In Broelan's ears, and sends shivers up Sir Ottox's spine to relieve her feelings.

I see no

And I ain't afraid of no

aaaaaaiiiiiiiigggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
*jumps, tea cannister goes flying again. she manages to hold on to the flashlight, tho. don't ask me how*

~ grabs cannister~

Hey, give that back!

BODMAS- that rings a bell. What does the B and the O stand for again?

Can't remember, I know the order but not what the B and O stand for (perhaps that is one of the things that makes it so vexing)

?

(well, if i'm getting confused, then things are getting back to normal around here. i *hate* it when the isn't around )

She is, she's right behind you.
